  Book 15: Lovely Lethal Gardens 
   
  Riches to rags … Finally it’s calm … At least for the moment … If she’s lucky … 
   
  Needing a break from all the murder and mayhem, Doreen and Mack plan an outing to see the local orchid show. Some of the displays are in the community center, but the more prized specimens of this genus require a visit to some of the gardeners’ homes, a rare opportunity not afforded to everyone. 
   
  This trip, not quite a date, affords Doreen a chance to enjoy not only the company of Mack but to get to know a few more of the colorful locals. But, when one of these locals ends up dead just after their visit, the dark underbelly of orchid growing is exposed and, with it, an old murder, … not to mention another new one. 
   
  Doreen and Mack just can’t catch a break. But can they catch a killer before he kills again?

  Step into the shadowed streets of Victorian London with The Cabman’s Story, a gripping crime fiction short story by Arthur Conan Doyle. Told through the keen, world-weary voice of a London cabman, this atmospheric tale reveals how ordinary professions often brush against extraordinary—and dangerous—secrets. Through two unforgettable encounters, the cabman recounts transporting a mysterious corpse placed in his cab under suspicious circumstances, and later becoming an unwitting accomplice to a clever banknote forger who hides criminal activity behind routine fares. 
  Rich in period detail and moral ambiguity, The Cabman’s Story explores crime, deception, and human nature as seen from the driver’s seat of London’s underbelly. Doyle masterfully captures the tension between respectability and corruption in late 19th-century society, offering readers a compact yet haunting glimpse into the hidden lives that move through the city after dark. Ideal for fans of classic crime fiction, Victorian mysteries, and character-driven storytelling, this short story lingers long after the final page.
